The Honesty of Women,

Women are being employed more
and more as book-keepers and CASH
iers, and one avowed ground of this
employment is that they are more
honest than men,. Unquestionably
they are SO up to this time, and it is
probable that they will have some
permanent advantage in that way.
Their moral instincts are somewhat
higher and their temptations less on
the side Of perilous indulgences. But
it has been pointed out more than
once by the more cautious friends OF
women that a good deal of the present
moral advantages of that sex in mat
ters of honesty comes simply from
inexperience. They have hitherto had
30 little to do with the direct handling
of money that they regard it with
more reverence than men; the bare
thought of an irregularity alarms
them the conscience is wholly fresh
and sensitive; they cannot conceive
how person can wrong another out
of a dime and live. Moreover, they
overrate the difficulties and perils con-
sequent upon wrong-doing. A young
book-keeper told me once that when
euer her accounts failed to balance, If
it were only for single cent, she felt
as if a policeman were just coming in
at the door. 1t is as we find to be the
case with lending money-any pru-
dent person would rather lend it to a
woman than to a man, because he
knows that the chance of repayment
is greater. In the present state oi
society, a debt of IS seems a tremen-
dous affair to a woman and a very
small affair to man; but let that
woman borrow and repay few times,
and the fine edge of sensibility begins
to wear off precisely as it does
with man, but more slowly.-[Har-

4 New Use for Frogs I'm France,
E,.cr,-uv>oor;v,r, 10 a uv,oufi on q h1o hind

A New Use for Frogs I'm France
s Frog-spearing is questionable kind
of amusement which, it appears, is al
present indulged in by French aristo-
cratic idlers who are trying to kill the
long summer days in country seats.
The latest instance of this peculiar
kind of sport took place in the grounds
of the Chateau Of Ballancourt. After
luncheon a party of "ladies and gen.
tlemen" armed with weapons resem-
bling crossbows, the arrows being OF
hazelwood with iron lance heads, and
attached to the bow by silken strings,
80 as to enable the frogs to be hauled
in, proceeded to the banks of pond.
Then there was great deal OF uncere'
monious STOPPING down as the frogs
appeared, and arrows were let off in
all directions, the slaughter being
considerable on the part Of those who
pursued the sport for the purpose Of
bagging game. The ilnpaled batrach.
ians were in all cases carefully col
lected and handed over to the cooks

The Revenue Dispute.

There is not a human being who
cannot live without whisky and tobac-
co. They are unnecessaries--luxuries;;
On the contrary, men, women and
children must be fed, clothed, housed
and warmed. These are necessities to
living. The so-called protectionists
want free whisky and cheap tobacco
in order that they may keep up the
prices of clothing, food, coal and lum-
ber. The revenue reformers wish to
retain tax on whisky and tobacco,
knowing that only those who use them
pay the taxes upon them, and at the

same time reduce the tax on necessa-
ries, the most important Of which are
the taxes on the raw materials-wool,
hemp, jute, iron-ore, coal, salt, lum-
Der and dye stuffs. The tax dispute
in q nutshell is: Is it best to have
free whisky or free wool?-[Philadel-

SOME USE FOR LEMONS

The lemonade season, has pretty
we'll iallen through by this time. But
what are not lemons used for?
As a gentleman said the other day
go into any uptown restaurant and
order dinner. The first thing to be
brought is a plate of oysters or clans.
There is a good half lemon to squeeze
upon them. Then comes soup, and
there is almost always slice of lemon
floating in it. Next fish, and the
chef has generally decorated the dish
with pieces of lemon. Entries, meats,
etc., follow, and nearly all have
lemon with them somehow.-[New
York Herald.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-10-02
as the season for the other fruits is

as the season for the other fruits is
drawing quickly to close.
On the whole, the California Union is
delighted with the results Of its expert
ment Of New York agency, and they
intend to keep it up next summer,
with every prospect of doing still
more satisfactory business.
WHAT OTHER DEALERS SAY.
The orly other dealers who do much
Handling" Of California fruit are the
firm of Dudley, Clapp & Doe, who
have for years received the fruit by
express from Chicago.
Mr.. Doe says that a limited quantity
of the fruit can be disposed Of at good
prices, but that a large proportion ar
rives in wretched condition and has
the effect of demoralizing the market.
The street dealers get hold of the fruit
purchased by those who attend. the
auctions and scatter it abroad at ruin
Gus prices.
Mr.. Doe was not of the opinion that
the Fruit Union could MAKE per-
manent success of its Eastern market.
He and Mr.. George w. Ladd, another
dealer, thought that the paper wrap
ping took away the flavor of the
peaches.
The domestic dealers generally are
rather alarmed at the glut of grapes
this year. 1t seems that the New Jer-
sey, Hudson River and New York
State crops are all coming to market
ut the same time, and it is difficult tC
know what to do with them.
President Bayles, of the Health
Board, received letter the other day
from the chairman of the New Jersey
Horticultural Society, warning hin
that certain of the Jersey grapes were
dangerous to public health. The lat
ter said that these grapes had been
made "dropsical' by having theil
stalks punctured before the fruit was
half ripe. The growers have sent the
fruit to market labelled "choice anG
early grapes" and the society has
asked Mr.. Bayles to warn people
against buying them.
None of the dealers seen by re-
porter of the Herald had come across
any bad fruit, and they were inclined
to look upon the letter as "scare."
MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT.
Another great branch of the fruit
is the Mediterranean business. Thii
goes almost exclusively through the
hands of the auctioneer. The seasor
for the Almeria, or, as they are com
monty called, Malaga grapes, will soor
begin, but many dealers have beer
obliged to send word to keep bacl
these grapes, in order that they may
not fall upon an already overstockec
market.
Last year over 16O, 900 barrels were
received and this year the crop has
been so fine that there is every pros.
pect for the arrival of still larger
number. The months of October
November and December are the
great ones for this trade.
A curious fact of the trade this year
has been the unparalleled flow of lem
ons from the Mediterranean. Dealers
have written and rewritten to stop
them, but until recently they kept ar
irving in vast numbers. Last month
alone no less than 100000 boxes Of
lemons arrived from the island Of
Sicily, and when it is remembered
that there are in all cases $50 lemons
to a box the Generalization of the
market is not hard to account for.

AKBOR DAY

Thursday. May 5th has been designa-
the by Gov. Church as Arbor day for
fsakota. Now let the citizens of Hur-
ley make preparations for a grand time
on that day. Let us have the public
square and the residence lots sur
rounded with trees. We have natur-
ally handsome town site, and with a
little exertion on the part of property
owners we can in few years have one
of the neatest and most attractive vii
lages in Dakota. Within the memory
OF the editor of this paper, Yankton
had very few shade trees larger than
the ones in front Of the Herald Office;
while to-day it has the reputation Of
being the prettiest town in Dakota,
and all on account of the trees which
are to be found on every street and in
nearly every door yard.
Let some one take the initiative in
this work. stir up their neighbors and
agitate the matter until all get enlisted
in cause that will add much to the
appearance of the town and the COM
fort of its citizens.
